WASHINGTON — The U.S. on Friday sanctioned more than 1,000 people and firms connected to Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, including its Central Bank governor and families of National Security Council members, after President Vladimir Putinabsorbing occupied regions of Ukraine into Russia, in defiance of international law.
The Treasury Department named hundreds of members of Russia’s legislature, leaders of the country’s financial and military infrastructure and suppliers for sanctions designations. The Commerce Department added 57 companies to its list of export control violators, and the State Department added more than 900 people to its visa restriction list.“We will not stand by as Putin fraudulently attempts to annex parts of Ukraine,” said Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen.
“The Treasury Department and U.S. government are taking sweeping action today to further weaken Russia’s already degraded military industrial complex and undermine its ability to wage its illegal war.”
I dont think they care sooo
Those regions have been begging to be part of Russia for 8 years now have they not? Now maybe Ukraine will stop bombing them and laying mines in their streets.
Villains like Vlad could care less about laws of any kind at this point. Here’s hoping that Putin can be stopped by any means necessary before he starts World War III.
International law. Give me a break. The government if the United States ignores our own laws regularly
By annexing, I assume you mean stealing by force...
